The Gypsum Valley and Gulf Wins.

Yesterday an election was held in
Lincoln to enable the voters to say
whether they would, or would not, sub
scribe to the stock and issue of bonds
to the Solomon Valley, Gypsum and
Gulf railway. There was considerable
opposition to the scheme, but after a
fair struggle, those who were in favor
of aiding the road, rolled up majority
of 81.
In the neighboring townships of Day
ton and Solomon, adverse votes were
recorded. 1t is stated that the voters
in those townships were not sufficiently
informed regarding the advantages and
status of this new road.-Sentinel.

Savannah's Quarantine.

The duties of a quarantine officer require
good Judgment and the exercise of great
caution. 1t is better that he should err on
the safe side, even though such error should
involve loss and annoyance to vessel owners.
The protection of the city from epidemics
overshadows in Importance every other con
sideration.
Nevertheless, caution can be carried too
far. The case of the Edna, reported few
days ago, which vessel lost eighteen days at
the quarantine station while her cargo
waited, though she arrived with u clean bill
of health, looks as if unnecessary harlships
were inflicted. In to-day's issue another
case of similar character is reported.
The commerce of the port Will suffer if
vessels are subjected to expense and delay
not necessary TO the safety of the city, and
from which they are free at neighboring
ports All such expense viii be allowed for
in fixing freight rates, and will have the
practical effect of duty levied on imports
collected in Savannah, but not elsewhere

Senator Colnnitt.

Senator Colquitt has served the State in
the Senate five years and as the end of his
term approaches the question as to who will
be his successor, becomes important. The
MORNING NEWS believes that he will, and
ought to, succeed himself His services in
the Senate have not been of the sort called
brilliant" He has not distinguished him
self as a partisan leader, but on almostevery
question that has arisen he has represented
truly and faithfully, the interests and opin-
ions of the people of Georgia That is the
kind of service the people want.
In spite of this fact, it is not at all I'M
likely that should the Senator offer for re-
election he will meet with considerable. if
Intellectual, opposition. Evidence is already
to be seen that the element of the Demo-
cratic party which has adopted the Repub-
lican idea, that cheap whisky and plenty of
it is all that is now necessary to the happi-
ness of the American people, will do every
thing in its power to defeat him Happily
this element is small, even though it does
manage to make a good deal of noise.
Senator ColquitJ represents more fully
than any other man in the State the opposi-
ton to the Republican programme of cheap
whisky and dear necessaries of life. He has
been a consistent advocate of tariff reform
and in his outspoken temperance views may
perhaps be found the chief cause of the an.
tagonism manifested toward him. He can
afford to fight on such an issue and on the
record he has made for himself in the Sen
